Chapter Ten

This Place will Do

"This really the best they could get?" Stiles asked as he dropped his bag on the floor near the bed. There really wasn't any other place they could go, so they ended up just get a hotel room. Well two hotel rooms. Seeing as they really didn't have a choice they decided to just trust Josie and got her her own room, though it was connected to their own.

Derek nodded slightly, "Yeah it's the one and only hotel in town" he said and glanced around for around for a moment before going to sit on the bed. "But it's really not that bad, at least we finally have some privacy" he said with a small smile. They'd been around Josie for the last four days and really haven't had much alone time. Well they were alone whenever they went upstairs but Josie never really allowed it to be peaceful.

"Yeah I guess you're right" Stiles said and walked over to him leaning in close. "Maybe you could finally let in what happened that night we got so drunk" he said a smirk slowly crossing over his lips. "Or you could just show me" he leaned in closer his lips barely brushing against Derek's as he spoke again. "If you like"

Derek smirked softly as he wrapped his arms around him and pulled him in closer. He fell back on the bed making it so Stiles way laying on top of him. "I suppose I could show you."

Derek glanced over at Stiles watching him as he slept, unable to sleep himself. It had been nice having that alone time with him again and not just because they were able to have sex. He missed being able to talk to him without having to worry about some psycho coming after them. "I love you" he whispered and leaned over and place a soft kiss on his forehead before crawling out from under the covers and out of bed.

Derek quietly pulled his clothes back on before exiting the room. He didn't want his restlessness to wake Stiles, the human needed his rest after everything that's happened.

"Done with your boy toy already Der Der?" Josie taunted with a small chuckle. She'd left her own room a while ago, not to keen on hearing Stiles and Derek having sex through the thin walls separating their rooms. "Though if I remember correctly you never could last more than thirty seconds"

"What do you want Josie" Derek asked not bothering to look back at her as he headed over to the vending machines.

"Well making you uncomfortable is it's own reward, but that's not exactly what I want in this moment" Josie said with a small sigh. "I just wanted to talk to you about something." she said following downing the sidewalk. "Do you have a plan for Nigel?" she asked curiously. "I overheard him while I was helping Stiles."

Derek sighed, "You asking if I intend on turning you over to him?" he asked turning to glance back at her.

"Yeah I guess I am" Josie said and shuffled a bit uncomfortably, this whole conversation making her uneasy. She was trying to trust him, but it really wasn't easy, neither one of them were very trustworthy.

"You don't have to worry about it. I turned his offer down" He said and turned back around before explaining. "He's not exactly a truthful person. Couldn't risk that he'd just kill you. Not when it would end in Stiles' death as well"

"Right, okay then that's all I wanted to know" Josie said and watch him head off towards the vending machines for a moment longer before turning around and heading back to her room. She really didn't care to talk to him more than she had to, she found out what she wanted to know.

Derek didn't have a reply for that so he simply said nothing and continued on his walk. When he reached the vending machines he pulled a few ones out and looked over his options before selecting something to drink. He got a Coke for himself and one for Stiles as well before heading back to the room.

"Yeah I know… Dad I'm… I know… Would you just let me…. Dad I…. It's not his…. " The was the sound Derek found himself waking up too. His father must have found out about the attack and was obviously not to please about not being informed. He slowly sat up on the bed and glanced over at Stiles, who looked very frustrated.

"Dad… Dad….. I gotta go….. Talk to you later" Stiles said and quickly hung up before his dad could say anything else. To say he was pissed about another accident was putting it lightly. "Jesus" he muttered to himself before starting to look few their files on everyone who escaped from Eichen house.

"Everything okay" Derek asked and glanced around the room for a moment before climbing out of bed. "How long have you been up?" he asked since the walls were already scattered with pictures and pieces of papers. Stiles had set up his crime wall, using basically the entire hotel room.

"Not long, a few hours maybe" he said and glanced around moment before turning to face Derek. "Sorry, I know it's a mess, still trying to arrange everything" he said and sighed softly. "Trying to figure out a pattern for Maggie Jackson and Jonathan Fitz." he said talking about the Whisper and Wendigo that Nigel help free from Eichen house. "Hoping if I can find a pattern from their past then we can figure out what they might be up to now" he said and sighed softly. "I mean they're probably under Nigel's thumb but I'm kind of hoping they'll put a bit of their own flair to whatever he wants done" he said and smiled small. "So far I haven't found anything." he glanced around the room once more his eyes scanning over all the pictures for about the hundredth time. "And uh yeah, Dad's but everything good" he said, just not recalling the first question.

"Not a bad idea" Derek stood up and started getting dressed.

"Hey hey what do you think you're doing" Stiles asked with a small smirk. "Been waiting for like two hours for you to wake up" he said and stood up revealing that he's neglected to even put on a pair of boxers since he's woken up.

Derek chuckled softly "I can see that" he said and looked over Stiles for a moment the fact that he liked the view already very clear. "What exactly did you have in mind" he asked his voice a bit huskier than before.

"A few things actually" Stiles said with a smirk and went to stand in front of Derek. "We're alone and I intend to take advantage of it" he said and moved in close enough to kiss him. "If that's okay with you" he whispered and straddled his his lap just before kissing him.

"Fine by me" Derek muttered before having them both fall back on the bed once more.

"Oh man that was great" Stiles breathed out a silly smile plastered on his face as he just laid back on the bed. "Should really get back to work though" He hated the thought of getting out of bed. Sure it sucked and had a few stains that he really would rather not think about, but it was nice. He loved laying there next to Derek, nestled in next to his warm body. No matter where he was rest he;d be comfortable in those arms. "I wanna figure those two out before someone else gets hurt" he said and turned to face Derek. "Think you could help me out" he said with a small smirk. "Might be a little distracting but I really don't see a need for either one of us to get dressed" he said, only a small hint of humor.

"I think I've distracted you enough for one day" Derek said with a small laugh. No matter how much he'd like to stay in bed as well he knew there was work to be done. "We can have more ialone/i time tonight" he said

"Fine" Stiles crawled out of the bed and slowly moved around the room to gather his clothing. "Should go and get Josie, she might see something we don't" he suggested as he pulled on his boxers and then his pants.

"If you think it'll help" He muttered as he did the same though his clothes were a lot easier to find. "Not sure how much help she'd be though"

"Yeah, but she's a killer she might be able to see another killer's intentions better than either of us can" Stiles said with a small shrug. "Besides another set of eyes could never hurt, and I got duct tape in my bag if she starts getting annoying"

"Okay I'll go get her" Derek said and quickly finished dawning his clothing before leaving the room to go and get Josie. He went to the room next to theirs and didn't even bother knocking, just walked in. "Hey come on over to our room. Stiles thinks you could be of some use" he said with a small sigh.

"You mean you two have finally finished fucking" Josie questioned and turned off the t.v, that was turned up about as high as it could go so she wouldn't have to hear them. "You to freakin consummate like bunnies"

"Just get over there Josie" Derek said, once again deciding to just ignore her comments about his sexual habits.

"Fine, as long as you two can keep your clothes on I'd be happy too" She said and flashed him a sarcastic smile before grabbing her shoes and leaving the room with him.

"Hey Josie you ever hear of Maggie Jackson or Jonathan Fitz" Stiles asked not bothering with pleasantries, she was here for business nothing else.

" I've heard of Maggie she's a psycho son-of-a-bitch" Josie said as she glanced around the room a little amazed by Stiles' handiwork. "What the hell is all of this?" she asked.

"Pictures and documents from every case that Eichen house ever had on Maggie and Jonathan" Stiles said and looked around once more before pinning up a few more piece of paper and connecting them with a thin string of green yarn. "I'm trying to figure out if they ever had a pattern or a favorite hunting ground before they got captured" he said before quickly explaining his plan to her like he had with Derek.

"So you know anything about her that might be helpful?" Derek asked and moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

"I don't know much, just heard of her really" Josie said though she really hadn't been paying too much attention. She was too busy glancing around the room, staring at the ways in amazement. "So this is how you figured out my plan, taping things to the walls?" she asked.

"Partly" Stiles said and glanced over at her a moment before going back to studying more of the paperwork. "You know something useful or not?" he asked.

"Didn't bring you in here to rehash the past Josie, just get on with it" Derek said with a sigh.

"Fine whatever, was just curious in case I might want to improve on a few things in the future" Josie said with a smirk and leaned back against one of the walls. "But anyway yeah uh Maggie liked to frequent bars, least that's what I heard. Influencing people works the best when there's something already their. It's something that they secretly want to do, but would never go through with. Or maybe she just building on a small feeling of hate or lust and brings it out ten fold. A bar or club is an easy place to find people like that" she said.

Stiles nodded slightly "Yeah that makes sense" he said and glanced around for a moment before shuffling through some of the papers that were left in Maggie's file. "Yeah I see a few reports here that follow that" he said and quickly scanned the pages before continuing. "People said they were at a bar when their mood suddenly changed" he said "They were all different bars though, not sure if it'll help much" he said before tapping the sheets over on the Maggie wall connecting them with a red yarn, since he really wasn't sure about the connection yet or how it could help them.

"Yeah but if she likes bars then I'm sure she'll be prowling in one of the ones we got here in Beacon Hills, can't be that many around can there. We could check em out this weekend." Derek suggested.

"No, I think it should be during the week. Normal people party on the weekends, ones that want to get away from their lives drink during the week, in the middle of the day" Josie said. "Think you may have better luck finding her if you go then. Though I'm not sure what good that will do anyway"

"Keep her from hurting anyone else, kind of the point of all of this" Stiles said with a small roll of his eyes. "Not that you would understand that, being that you're a psycho and all."
